THE PUFF STORY This year marks the Puff ‘n Stuff Catering 30-year Anniversary. Since 1980, we have beenOrlando’s premier catering and full-service event planning company and are now the largest of our kind in Central Florida. We’ve achieved this status largely in part to one word: Innovation. It’s what drives our business and our team members—evidenced in everything from our Special Event Planners and expert Chefs to our state-of-the-art facility. In 2003, Warren Dietel had a vision for the company, so he purchased the company from his parents and immediately set out to grow Central Florida’s premier catering operation into a full-service event planning company. He updated the brand, and grew the business 267% in 3 years, achieving Inc. 5000 status in 2007 and 2008. Quick growth required rapid changes, so the growing leadership team introduced new systems, technology and automation to maxmize effciency and create safety nets. He also built an infrastructure to support current and future regional growth, diversified our segment base and worked with our Executive Chefs and event planning team to create menus for all segments and pricing levels. Now over 200 team members strong, Puff ‘n Stuff Catering is recognized as a national leader in our industry. Passionately Perfecting Life’s Celebrations for 30 years!

C A P I TA L I N V E S T M E N T SIn order to produce world-class results for events at the Orlando Science Center, a number ofimprovements are necessary.One of the biggest challenges at the Orlando Science Center is the lack of a finishing/productionkitchen on the fourth floor. The following blueprint draft covers our proposed renovations to thecurrent staging and storage area on the fourth floor.Puff ‘n Stuff Catering agrees to finance the capital investment on behalf of Orlando Science Center,interest-free to be repaid as a reduction to commisions over the initial term of agreement(i.e. 5 years).The total capital investment is expected to be approximately $20,000. Repaid at $4,000 per year asa reduction of our monthly commissions. For example, if the improvements cost $20,000 we wouldbe issued a credit of $333.33 a month for the 5 contracted years.We will maintain the existing serviceware inventory, replacing as necessary; solely at our expense.A mutually agreed upon inventory upon execution of this agreement will be performed. Most of theserviceware will reside at our commissary for proper processing.In addition, it will be helpful to find a second location on the fourth floor to create a breakdown/dishwashing facility.

RECYCLING PROGRAMIn 2006, we proudly began green initiatives within our facility and upon client request off-site.We have a recycling compactor on-site to reduce waste. During a recent public event in Winter Park,we trained our service staff, developed the logistics, and created a recycling plan for all plastic bottlesand aluminum cans. We are consistently improving our green initiatives daily. Furthermore, ourdishwashing systems are state-of-the-art with recirculating gray water for pre-wash and scrapping.We will elaborate more during the site inspection.We are working with Republic Services to fine tune a single-stream recycling program that wouldinclude recycling everything from on-site production and at off-site events by using special recyclebins made specifically to fit on our catering vehicles.We have agreed to support this initiative through an extensive training program with supportinglogistics. We expect to have this plan fully integrated by the fourth quarter of 2010. We anticipatea 50% reduction in our waste currently going into the landfill.When possible, we utilize post-consumable recycling goods for events with disposable serviceware.However, we realize the impact created by using any type of disposable product is greater thanoptions to reuse. We continue to explore options for outdoor events using dishwasher safe melamineplateware and platters, and shatter-proof glassware.
